On Tuesday I was in London for a meeting of the AHRC Cultural Value Project Advisory Group. The project leader, Professor Geoffrey Crossick, gave us a report on the second funding call which resulted in 26 awards to support critical reviews and expert workshops exploring a variety of aspects of cultural value. The project team now plan to commission some further research to fill the gaps not met by the open funding calls. They will also run a series of project workshops, bringing together some current grant holders and other researchers. On Tuesday we started to discuss the structure of the final report of the Cultural Value Project. There have been some interesting contributions to the cultural value debate on the project’s blog at: http://culturalvalueproject.wordpress.com/
